Asking about pickups is alot like asking about tractors, opinions can be all over the place.
I have no great bias, I work on them all. Alot is gonna depend on the price range/year range you are after.
You said you were looking for gas, so my vote would be for the GM 2500HD w/6.0. The only real difference between the HD and straight 2500 is you get a better gear ratio in the difs for pulling. I like sitting up in a ford or dodge better, but as far as gassers go the 6.0 seems to be the best all around pulling/runaround set up. The transmissions are pretty solid too.
As far as diesels. Id stay away from the ford 6.0. Ford 7.3, chev duramax, dodge 24v 5.9 all have their followers. Alot of buying a used diesel is previous maintanence, and what the guy before you did to it. Seems around here, alot of guys really mess em up with programmers and modifications, then pull their toys off and trade em in shot. BW
